Chapter 46 Who's insulting me this time?
A strange scene unfolded on the territory of the Nagato Group.
That was the Nagato family's mansion, but only half of it remained; the other half looked like it had been blown up.
Nagato Dosan, carried on Kogoro Mouri's back, looked at the dilapidated mansion and sighed heavily.
"I shouldn't have borrowed money from them," Nagato Dozo said, filled with regret.
He said he had been in arrears on his debts for five years, so how could those people not charge him interest? It turned out the interest was from the bombing of his house…
“Mr. Nagato, you said ‘they’?” Conan quickly caught the clue in the words.
As if suddenly realizing something, Nagato Dosan said in a panic, "Pretend I didn't say anything."
“Mr. Nagato, look at your house, it’s in such a state that a case can be filed. Why don’t you tell us what happened?” Kogoro Mouri advised.
Changmen Daosan lowered his head and said remorsefully, "I signed an agreement with them. If a case is filed or their affairs are exposed, my daughter will be in danger."
Conan, who had been deep in thought, tentatively asked, "Were all those people wearing black clothes?"
Upon hearing this, Nagato Dosan's expression changed slightly before returning to normal: "I've already said I can't reveal any information about them." However, Conan noticed the expression on Nagato Dosan's face.
It really does seem to be those guys.
Conan's mind conjured up images of Gin, vodka, and a chained bust.
Those bastards.
Conan looked at the mansion, now only half intact, filled with resentment.
……
Ah Qiu!
Bai Yexiu rubbed his nose and looked dejectedly in the direction of Nagato's residence.
I bet it's Conan cursing at me again. Humph, he's so young but he already likes to curse.
……
The news that the chains, which had disappeared for several days, had reappeared in a bar quickly spread like wildfire through bars and nightclubs.
Bai Yexiu, sipping a cocktail, served the guests before him, trying to ignore the predatory stares he received from the other people in the bar.
If he doesn't show up for a few days, all the major powers must be getting impatient, which will naturally lead to more business and more money...
Bai Yexiu took another sip of his cocktail with a smile. The customer he was serving was the first one of the day, but judging from the predatory looks he received from the others in the bar, it was clear that they were eager to line up in front of him to buy information.
After he finished entertaining this guest, another guest in the bar soon got up from a corner and walked towards him.
To maintain his aloof persona, Bai Yexiu didn't watch him hand over the money with a greedy smile.
Bai Yexiu turned his head to the side, closed his eyes, and sipped his cocktail, quietly waiting for the other person to sit down in front of him.
Ten seconds later, Bai Yexiu vaguely sensed that something was wrong.
Wait a minute, I remember the corner isn't that far from here, and it's been ten seconds already, and that person still hasn't come over?
Bai Yexiu opened his eyes and saw two familiar figures—Gin and Vodka.
The person who was about to walk towards him had been kicked to the ground by Gin, and an eerie silence fell over the bar.
For a fleeting moment, Bai Yexiu had an urge to run away.
The customer he least wanted to run into when selling information was Gin; the shadow of his last encounter with Gin on the street and being forced to sell information hadn't yet faded.
Many people in the bar looked wary, and no one even stopped Gin from openly beating someone in the bar, which shows Gin's influence in the underworld.
Gin and vodka sat down in front of him, and soon the bar returned to its original noisy state.
Bai Yexiu was on the verge of tears. He took a tactical sip of his cocktail and forced himself to remain calm: "What kind of information do you want?"
“FBI’s Shuichi Akai. We want to know where he is.” Gin lit a cigarette in front of him.
Bai Yexiu knew this person. He hadn't specifically looked into it since Shuichi Akai ran away five years ago, but for some reason, he knew that Shuichi Akai was currently in the United States.
Although he didn't know where this information came from or why he felt this way, he thought about it and concluded that it was, after all, his intuition. Even if the information he sold to Gin wasn't true, he had many excuses for himself.
Bai Yexiu pondered for a moment and decided to seek fortune in danger.
Since Gin had already come, no matter how unwilling he was, he couldn't refuse. If he refused, it would be bad if the organization sent someone to assassinate him, or even worse, if he refused and Gin killed him on the spot.
As a core member, he was very familiar with the organization's nature.
However, Gin paid him more than most small organizations, which put Bai Yexiu in a dilemma.
“I do have this information. However, because this information is a bit special, the price may be a little higher than before.” Bai Yexiu raised his hand again and called the waiter over. “Two martinis for these two gentlemen, please.”
Gin paused for a moment, a chill emanating from him, and his other hand was already gripping the pistol in his pocket.
Martini again...
Gin stared at the young man before him, veins bulging on the back of his hand.
"Sir, I highly recommend the Martini, it's really delicious," Bai Yeshu said with a smile.
Hmph, I told you to come to me to buy information.
However, Gin managed to suppress his temper, after all, for Gin, the mission came first.
“No problem.” Gin placed a suitcase on the table, then took a check out of his pocket: “If that’s not enough, here are some more.”
"He's in America." Bai Yexiu quickly clutched the suitcase and checks to his chest, as if afraid they would be snatched away.
At that moment, the waiter placed two glasses of martini on the table: "These are for the two gentlemen."
Gin glanced at the two martinis on the table with disgust and was about to leave when Bai Yexiu said with a wicked smile, "Gentlemen, are you sure you don't want to try a martini?"
Gin glanced back at Bai Yexiu with an ambiguous look, then said "I'm going to drive" and quickly left.
Gin loosened his grip on the gun as he left the bar.
To be honest, he had just considered shooting the chained creature. But for some reason, killing it was absolutely out of the question.
Yes, he experienced pain. Someone was repeatedly stepping on his landmines in front of him, but he couldn't kill him.
"Annoying thing," Gin muttered under his breath, then ordered Vodka to drive away immediately.
On the other side, Bai Ye was smugly drinking a martini when he suddenly sneezed, almost dropping his glass.
Bai Yexiu helplessly wiped the wine spilled on his hands with a handkerchief.
So who's insulting me this time?
